That’s my usual approach for Bethesda games. After about six months, the community will have made some much-needed quality of life mods, and Bethesda will peobably have fixed any major performance issues or game-breaking, savefile-bricking bugs.
And this is supposed to be a huge game, so there will be a few serious issues as a matter of course.
See if you can find an Ibanez AZ to try out. They’re fantastic guitars for the price and there’s a variety of pickup configurations and number of frets to choose from. Several of the Signature and Premium models fall in the $1000 to $1500 range.
Along with Tanaka, Yamada (山田) is also often used as a placeholder surname. It’s a comparably common name that’s also simple to read and write.
As for female placeholder given names, IMO the closest equivalent to Taro would probably be Hanako (花子). I’ve seen adverts that show sample credit cards or forms bearing these names.
For example, an ad for a Toyota financing promotion might feature the name Toyota Taro on the sample application form. Or in a Mitsubishi UFJ credit card ad, the happy-looking lady in the ad will be using a credit card that bears the name Mitsubishi Hanako.
That’s a really good point. It’s what got me to stop using StumbleUpon and stick around on reddit in the first place some 15 years ago.
I managed to snag it for 20% off in February. Normally I don’t go in on games until they’re out of early access, but it’s been fun seeing lots of new relics, orbs, and random events get added each patch.
It’s home to a very strange community unaware that their “platform” was just an image host for users of an actual social media platform. Well, at least it was before imgur recently started adding social media features and purged nsfw content.
Popular image posts from reddit would routinely get boosted (sans context) to the top of imgur’s homepage, which would attract confused, angry, and often unintentionally hilarious comments from imgur users. Iirc there was a subreddit dedicated to this phenomenon.

Luck Be a Landlord and Peglin are both neat roguelite games that are easy to pick up and put down, but are still interesting enough to play for long periods, too.
Fellow Moonlander + Corne user here. Once I accepted that I was never realistically going to take my Moonlander on the go, I sprang for the Platform kit. It’s a huge improvement over the stock tenting legs.
Column stagger and ortholinear keyboards are an ergonomic wonder. Everyone’s hands are different of course, but I find them really comfortable.
Another big plus for ZSA products is their software. The graphical configurator is really powerful and nice to use. It adds a lot of features on top of what’s natively available in QMK. I’ve only manually tweaked my firmware once, and that was for a particularly niche and convoluted use case.
Most open-world games have areas on the map that are blank until you “explore” them by climbing a tower of some kind and “activating” that region on your map.
This results in trudging blindly into the middle of every new area, ignoring interesting stuff along the way and beelining to the tower just so you can see the damn map. It’s an annoyingly unnatural way to explore.
I didn’t even realize that I disliked it until I played Far Cry 6, which has a much more organic and immersive landmark discovery process. You learn locations of interest from readables and by talking to friendly NPCs that you encounter in the world.

The Genshin TCG is already light on strategy, but the lack of QoL features is what really annoys me.
So much time is spent staring at rolling dice and slow attack animations, and there’s no option to speed it up. Pain.
I’m interested in it because the tripod kit has quick magnetic attach/detach, unlike the Moonlander’s. I’d want to mount it to the arms of my chair.
The only two things holding me back right now are the missing two columns of keys in the middle and the cost.
